We had a lovely couple of nights at the boathouse. It was a staycation for us as we live in Cornwall. We just wanted some time to ourselves including our dog outside of our busy lives. We had to leave a day early due to work commitments which was a shame. The 2 nights we stayed there were absolutely perfect. Perfect in every way. Thank you to the owners for sharing this lovely place. And thank you for the jam, scones and cream on our arrival. We totally recommend the boathouse if, like us, you want some chill-out time and plenty of dog walking. It really is worth a visit.David , Sharan, and Roxy
